Ahh, Linux wouldn't, anyway:

http://lxr.linux.no/source/net/unix/af_unix.c#L184

184 static int unix_mkname(struct sockaddr_un * sunaddr, int len,  
unsigned *hashp)
185 {
186         if (len <= sizeof(short) || len > sizeof(*sunaddr))
187                 return -EINVAL;

it doesn't even have sun_len.
